The Penumbra Podcast
Harley Takagi Kaner and Kevin Vibert
Recent Episodes
When Kevin and Harley decided to go full-time as podcasters and artists, they knew it was a big risk. Independent media by queer creators doesn't generally pull in the big bucks, but it’s important to them to make the most beautiful and heartfelt work possible and always pay the cast and crew a competitive rate. That’s why we are so grateful to you for considering signing up for The Penumbra Podcast: SPECIAL EDITION, which you can find at thepenumbrapodcast.supercast.com. Depending on the monthly pledge you choose, you’ll gain access to early, ad-free episodes, behind-the-scenes bonus content like scripts and commentary tracks, livestreams with the creators, and more. Plus, starting on October 6, 2024, we will be releasing the audiobook, If Memory Serves: A Juno Steel Mystery, to this new platform ahead of its eventual public release, as a special preview for subscribers.
If you are already a supporter over on Patreon, thank you! The new platform will be making the transition over as seamless as possible for you: just head to thepenumbrapodcast.supercast.com/patreons. All subsequent episodes of the audiobook, as well as the entire back catalog of bonus content, will be on the new platform. Make sure you cancel your Patreon subscription afterwards, as everything will be cleared out of Patreon in the next month.
If you choose to pledge any amount, please know that you’re not only supporting Harley, Kevin, and the crew, but you’re also helping to grow this community and provide access to those who may not be able to give. Thank you so much for your support. It means the world to us.
For early and ad-free episodes, production scripts, commentary tracks, blooper reels, livestreams with the creators, and much more, you can find The Penumbra Podcast: SPECIAL EDITION at: https://thepenumbrapodcast.supercast.com (In old episodes, you will often hear us mention Patreon, which was our old platform and is no longer live.

Hi travelers, Harley here. I wanted to make sure that you knew about our upcoming series Q&A happening on Patreon this Sunday, September 8th, at 3:00 PM Eastern, for all of our Patreon supporters. Kevin and I will be answering questions live from those who attend, so make sure to come prepared with everything you’re still dying to know! The Q&A will be co-hosted by Joshua Ilon, who voices Juno Steel, and Melissa DeJesus, who voices Quanyii and also edits our scripts, so we’ll have representatives from both of our main series there too if you want to hit them with a few actor questions.
The Q&A will also be the very first time that we announce what’s coming next for you all as well as giving you a sneak preview, so if you want to be the first to know, make sure you attend at patreon.com/thepenumbrapodcast. It’s not too late to pledge to our Patreon at any level, and the livestream will be recorded in case you can’t make it. We can’t wait to see you there!
